Just ordered it, should arrive today or tomorrow. In the Sec542 SANS class I was at recently, Python seemed to be a really robust platform for scripting, and I've wanted to learn a new language for a while... Python seems pretty easy, we'll see. Might take me a while to get in to it, but I'll try to keep you posted!

It's been a while since I cracked open my copy of it. But I remember at the time getting deciding to get a different book on python to learn python and then going back to gray hat to use the skills and learn to think the gray hat way.

Well, I wish I had seen that review before hand. Just after thumbing through the book, it's certainly now what I was expecting. I was looking more for "how to code pen-test-like tools"... but it seems much more focused on debugging and fuzzing windows DLLs and drivers, and there's a short bit on hooking dlls. The subtitle of the book is "Python programming for hackers and reverse engineers"... I think they should take out the "hackers and" part, and it'd be more apt.

That being said, i'm probably never going to use this book. If anyone is interested in it, I'll ship it off to you at a bargain price + some shipping. PM me if you're interested...
